The Gentle Hush

The earth lies still
the gentle hush
the morning mist
and softly settled dew
full of life
and possibilities

then a breath
the world awakens
a bird, a bud, the sun
slowly life emerges

the want of sun
instead of rain
the parting clouds
and a clear path
a reflection and a dream

I pull it close
up to my breast
the warmth
the hope
and in it find
my strength
